Download or read book Moisture Damage in Asphalt Concrete written by Russell G. Hicks and published by Transportation Research Board. This book was released on 1991 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This synthesis will be of interest to pavement designers, construction engineers, maintenance engineers, and others interested in avoiding or limiting moisture damage in asphalt concrete. Information is provided on physical and chemical explanations for moisture damage in asphalt concrete, along with a discussion of current practices and test methods for determining or reducing the susceptibility of various asphalt concrete components and mixtures to such damage. Moisture damage in asphalt concrete is a nationwide problem which often necessitates premature replacement of highway pavement surfaces. This report of the Transportation Research Board describes the underlying physical and chemical phenomena responsible for such damage. Current test methods used to determine the susceptibility of asphalt concretes, or their constituents, to moisture damage are described and evaluated. Additionally, current practices for minimizing the potential for moisture damage are examined.

Download or read book Guidelines for Evaluation of Asphalt overlaid Concrete Pavements written by Kathleen Theresa Hall and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents guidelines for selection of asphalt-overlaid concrete (AC/PCC) pavements for rehabilitation, collection of distress data, recognition of AC/PCC pavement distress modes, nondestructive deflection testing, materials sampling, and overall project-level evaluation. Key condition indicators (distress, rutting, roughness, serviceability, and CRS) were examined to address their usefulness in AC/PCC rehabilitation project selection. Critical levels for these indicators were identified, and available prediction models were investigated for use in rehabilitation programming. The project-level evaluation procedure includes guidelines for field and laboratory data collection and analysis for structural evaluation, functional evaluation, drainage evaluation, and AC surface material evaluation. A procedure was developed for backcalculation of AC/PCC pavement layer elastic moduli from deflection measurements, and guidelines were developed for practical interpretation of the backcalculation results. The recommended evaluation procedure relies on conventional testing and evaluation methods (visual surveying, deflection testing, coring, materials testing, etc.). New technologies (e.g., ground-penetrating radar, infrared thermography) are developing which have potential for use in pavement evaluation. These technologies are also reviewed in this report.

Download or read book Guidelines for Rehabilitation of Asphalt overlaid Concrete Pavements written by Kathleen Theresa Hall and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents guidelines for selection of rehabilitation strategies for asphalt-overlaid concrete (AC/PCC) pavements, summarizes the performance of second AC overlays of AC/PCC pavements on Illinois Interstates, and presents procedures for design of three types of overlays of AC/PCC pavements: second AC overlay; unbonded PCC overlay; and AC overlay of rubblized PCC with the existing AC removed. The overlay design procedures are based on the 1993 revised AASHTO overlay design procedures, customized for Illinois conditions. A practical catalog of rehabilitation designs is presented for AC/PCC pavements in various categories of condition, traffic level, and PCC pavement type.

Download or read book A Literature Review of Liquid Antistripping and Tests for Measuring Stripping written by Christine W. Curtis and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this literature review is to search the literature in the area of chemical and mineral agents used to promote adhesion of asphalt-aggregate mixes. In addition, tests performed to measure the effectiveness of these agents were reviewed. The information gained through this literature search and review provides background information for the research being performed in the SHRP A-003B contract. This literature search was performed using on-line chemical abstracts for documents in the time period of 1967 to present.
